Dr. Bella Bikowsky is a Child and Adolescent Clinical Therapist and an ESA Certified School Counselor with a Ph.D. in Educational Counseling and Psychology. She brings more than 25 years of experience across education and mental health. Over the course of her career, she has worked in long-term residential treatment centers, served on the inpatient psychiatric unit at Seattle Children's Hospital, and held positions as a school counselor in Seattle Public Schools and as a Counselor and Behavior Specialist in the Edmonds School District.

Currently, Dr. Bikowsky is the Executive Director and owner of Inua Group, an organization dedicated to school-based consultation and the integration of mental health supports within K-12 education. She collaborates with school teams and districts to design systemic changes grounded in the Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) framework, implementing evidence-based practices such as Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), Restorative Justice Practice, Trauma-Informed and Culturally Responsive Practices, Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), mental health integration, and function-based assessments and interventions.

In addition, Dr. Bikowsky maintains a clinical private practice serving children, adolescents, young adults, and families in both Washington and Montana. Her work emphasizes family systems repair and restoration, with clinical focus areas including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, ADHD, emotional and behavioral disorders, and autism spectrum disorders. She draws on evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to meet the individualized needs of her clients.

Across both school and clinical contexts, Dr. Bikowsky emphasizes the connection between brain and body in assessment and intervention. Guided by neuroscience and the concept of neuroception, she attends to the state of an individual's autonomic nervous system to better understand root causes of presenting concerns and to design interventions that are both responsive and restorative.

Allow me to now introduce my background in mental health. I earned my B.A. in Psychology and a Minor in Human and Family Development from the University of Montana. My education continued at Idaho State University for a Master's Degree in Counseling and I completed requirements to become a Nationally Certified Counselor in 2010. Following licensure, I worked with all ages for individual counseling services. My education has continued toward becoming a Registered Play Therapist since 2010 by attending The Annual Play Therapy Association conferences, on-line courses, and in-person trainings. I worked to create a mental health program at a Child Developmental Center while living in Wyoming. Teaching Love and Logic Parenting classes since 2011 has also been a joy of mine to help parents know how to set appropriate loving limits in their homes to find greater satisfaction and enjoyment in their relationship with children as well as all relationships.

I am thrilled to join Inua with my expertise. I am honored to be back in my home state offering a service which can positively impact the neurological development of children impacted by difficult experiences as well as teens and adults in addressing their mental health concerns. Please consider sharing my contact information with individuals who might benefit from individual counseling or Play Therapy.
